Morgan Stanley at Work Unveils Second Annual State of the Workplace Financial Benefits Study

• Employees are paying more attention to their financial benefits compared to a year ago
• Employees increasingly expect more clarity and options in workplace benefits; HR leaders agree
• HR leaders believe their company needs to do a better job helping employees understand how to maximize financial benefits

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Morgan Stanley at Work released today the latest findings from its second annual State of the Workplace Financial Benefits Study, highlighting the economic challenges employees face amid rising inflation and evolving views on financial benefits.

The study found that employees across age groups are struggling with their personal finances due to inflation and concerns of a recession. Compared to last year, employees are paying more attention to their financial benefits and are looking to their employers for expanded resources and guidance.

• Employees and employers agree companies should offer the best benefits: Among employees, 60% say they are paying more attention to reviewing their financial benefits compared to a year ago, and an overwhelming 96% of employees agree that their company should ensure it offers the best benefits available in their industry, which aligns with HR leaders’ views (97%).
• Employees are looking for more benefits: Despite more executives saying they are offering quality financial benefits, 84% of HR leaders (up from 78% in 2021) recall a recent time when an employee has requested a specific type of financial benefit that their current company does not offer.
• Employers and employees agree there is more work to do: Almost all HR leaders (96%) say “their company needs to do a better job helping employees understand how to maximize the financial benefits offered to them,” an increase from the previous year (93%). Employees largely agree; with 89% saying their company needs to do a better job helping employees understand how to maximize financial benefits, slightly up from 2021 (87%).

“For employees and employers alike, the stakes today are high when it comes to ensuring employee financial wellbeing,” said, Brian McDonald, Head of Morgan Stanley at Work. “In 2021 the effects of Covid were still being felt by many employees when it came to their finances, yet now in 2022, we face a new set of challenges and a very different economic environment. Amid persistently high inflation, many employees are seeking help managing their short and long-term financial needs, such as budgeting, reducing debt, building emergency savings, and planning for retirement. We have seen first-hand that many employers are stepping up to tackle these challenges, yet there remains more work to be done.”

Additional details are available in Morgan Stanley at Work’s State of the Workplace Study, available here. As part of a series of findings from Morgan Stanley at Work’s second annual study, the business will also publish its findings on financial wellness, retirement, and equity compensation.

Methodology: The data from the Morgan Stanley at Work Employees Survey and HR leaders Survey comes from a survey of 1,000 U.S. employed adults and 600 HR leaders for companies. The survey was conducted on behalf of Morgan at Stanley at Work using an email invitation and an online survey between July 13^th and July 19^th 2022, by Wakefield Research (www.wakefieldresearch.com).

Qualtrics Launches Video Feedback to Help Organizations Meet a New Generation of Consumers Where They Are

Customers can now collect, analyze and take action on both qualitative and quantitative feedback, all on the Qualtrics platform

Qualtrics’ sophisticated machine learning analyzes sentiment and emotions from the comments consumers leave on video, enabling organizations to get deeper insights and act with empathy and speed

Today’s consumers are accustomed to video, and Qualtrics Video Feedback makes it easy for organizations to capture a holistic view

PROVO, Utah & SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Qualtrics (Nasdaq: XM), the leader and creator of the experience management category, today announced Video Feedback, a new way for organizations to collect qualitative feedback on the Qualtrics XM Platform™. Organizations can now capture video feedback from their customers, analyze both words and emotions, and use that data to make business decisions quickly and with confidence.

Qualitative research has traditionally required in-person interviews or focus groups. The accelerating pace of digital transformation has made it possible to move qualitative research online to meet today’s consumers where they are – which is increasingly on video-based social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

“Now more than ever, companies need to make decisions with empathy, speed and scale,” said Michel Feaster, Qualtrics’ Chief Product Officer of Research. “With Video Feedback, Qualtrics is defining the next era of research and empowering organizations to understand what really matters to the next generation of consumers and design the products, services and experiences they want now and next.”

Deeply Understand Customers’ Thoughts and Emotions

Video feedback brings consumers’ thoughts and feelings to life by empowering respondents to describe their experience in their own words. Qualtrics’ sophisticated machine learning captures and analyzes what was said, as well as non-verbal signals such as body language and tone of voice, to provide deeper insights.

Video Feedback automatically translates and transcribes audio, saving researchers time and speeding up action. Additionally, sophisticated text analytics built directly into the product enable researchers to quickly surface themes from video responses, analyze them to highlight the most important responses, and set up automated alerts to prompt action.

Marketing, CX and HR teams will be able to use Video Feedback to integrate richer insights into their feedback programs.

Tell Data-Driven Stories that Drive Business Action

With editing capabilities built right into the product, researchers can edit videos and build highlight reels to tell data-driven stories and help people easily understand experience data to make faster, more accurate decisions about their business.

Video Feedback is the first of a number of qualitative research features that Qualtrics will introduce over the coming months. Because it is built on the Qualtrics XM Platform, organizations can bring together Video Feedback with all of their experience data—from survey responses to unstructured feedback such as social media posts, product reviews and chats— and easily turn large volumes of feedback into insights that drive action.

Availability

Video Feedback is already helping nearly 50 organizations in our early access program deliver better experiences and will be generally available at the end of October. Video Feedback is exclusively available in the Qualtrics XM Platform as a capability within DesignXM™.
